144 PRATTS POINTERS ON THE HORSE 



HEAVES. 



Heaves will be noticed by wheezing and is also gen- 

 erally accompanied by a cough. It is very often caused 

 by overfeeding on clover, chafif, dry bran, oats, or food 

 which contains very little nutriment, but is bulky. 

 Dusty hay is also very likely to cause this disease, as 

 well as violent exercise. Both young and old horses are 

 subjeet to it, but it more frequently affects the older 

 animals. It is frequently accompanied with a ravenous 

 appetite. It weakens the animal and he is easily fatigued. 

 A horse affected with heaves should in all cases have a 

 well-ventilated stable. 



Turn the horse out into pasture where there is no 

 clover. The horse should be fed on cornstalks or laxa- 

 tive food and dry grain, clean oats, but very little hay, 

 and this should be dampened and only given at night. 

 Turnips and carrots are good feed. Water should be 

 given in small quantities, but frequently. A little lime 

 added to the water occasionally is good for the horse. 



We strongly urge the use of Pratts Heave Cure to 

 prevent and cure this troublesome disease. A single 

 day's treatment helps the worst case of heaves, several 

 doses will show a vast improvement, and in a few days 

 the cough will stop and the breathing be natural.
